After a 126 year hiatus, Native Hawaiian Student Services (NHSS) restarted a version of the “Hawaiian Youths Abroad” program this Summer 2018. With plans for study tours in future years, the program retraces the path of our ancestors abroad to engage students in international educational experiences and training around the world in service to our lāhui and ea. This year, Summer 2018, we partnered with a faculty member from the College of Education, Dr. Eōmailani Kukahiko (Curriculum Studies) to offer a 9-credit summer institute focused on Hawaiian Kingdom aliʻi huakaʻi and diplomatic relationships in Europe. The institute also includes a separate Faculty Sponsored Study Tour with separate fees and costs that are listed below.
